Also, if the Navy has Seastone coated ships, couldn't they just sail through the calm belt and get to Raftael? What about DF users who can fly such as Marco or Laffite, couldn't they just fly to Raftael?

There is just a little problem about crossing the calm belt straight to Raftel... first... nobody knows exactly where raftel is... (Roger said to Whitebeard if he wants him to tell the way to raftel... so i can only assume that people know about the existence of Raftel but no one except Roger and his crew know the exact location) second... even if they cross the calm belt to the grand line the log pose would not point towards Raftel making navigation on the grand line near to impossible... Also... Raftel its in the new worlds which is rulled by the 4 emperors so it would no be easy task to reach that island... if it was that simple... it wouldn't be much of a chalenge to get to One Piece

If his whole crew knew the way to the island, then how come it is never mentioned that Shanks or Buggy know the way? I think it would have been hinted at at least. I think the only ones who know where it is are Roger and Rayleigh. Hell, I don't even think Rayleigh knows...

Maybe your right... but that is my point... nobody really knows the way to Raftel... its not like anybody who could pass through the calmbelt to the grand line could get to Raftel with no trouble... no one really knows where the island is located... Shanks and Buggy dont know about it... maybe they left Rogers crew before he reached Raftel... My guess is Rayloeight may be the only man in the world who actually knows the real location...

-Where did they come from?? Are they a naturally occurring fruit on a far away island, or are they a mutation that occurs to fruit in nature?

"They come from the sea," that is all that is known. There's no point to discuss "what could happen" with no leading evidence.

It was never stated that they have large amounts of fruits at their disposal. It's just a matter of numbers- the most likely explanation of them having a few laying around is because they are the WG, and have hundreds of soldiers around the world. These soldiers would either eat them upon finding, or hand it over to the WG....

Spoiler for anime spoilers...:

This is the most commonly known fact. You can't eat two DFs or you die. Simple as that (except for Blackbeard).

No. And no... If you get a logia fruit, you can turn into that element, and unless you get a really sucky DF, it is assumed you increase in power.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it BB didn't eat the fruit; he just used his existing DF's power to absorb WB's DF power. So the rule possibly may still stand.

Spoiler for anime:

Yeah but even so the main thing is having two "demons" inside of you that tear you apart. Something about blackbeard's current df, or his "body" makes it possible. I can see where you're coming from, though.

I know it points in the direction of someone, like with the one Ace gave Luffy. But how come the one Rayleigh gave the Straw Hats points to a bigger piece (like when Rayleigh gave it to Shakky)? Isn't it supposed to follow the person it was made from?
